JCK Feature
By Amy Corey
Trends were clear across the show floor: yellow gold continues its strong comeback, bezels are making a bold statement, and fancy-shaped diamonds are showing up in both fashion and bridal categories. These design directions align beautifully with what our customers are asking for and what’s already proving successful in our showcases.
A standout category for us remains flex bracelets The trend is not only continuing but evolving, with vendors offering more intricate designs, fresh textures, and elevated styling that keeps the look modern and luxurious.
A trend I noticed at many vendors is to offer lab grown diamond jewelry in a gold filled/ vermeil alternative to bring the price down of fun fashion
